Vizio will have 2 new Google TV products: a set-top box and a Blu-ray player.
The remote included with the VAP430 will be slightly different from some of the Google TV remotes available with other products, in that apparently it will also fire IR commands to control other devices, rather than IR using blasters. There are also dedicated buttons on the remote for Amazon Instant, Netflix, and Vudu, whiblu ray duplicator controller Vizio gets in the Google TV game, will support OnLivech should be helpful for getting around Google TVs somewhat clunky intece.

Google has also announced that both ofVizios Google TV products will support the OnLive gaming service.

OnLive support will initially only allow users to view games, but will expand in the future. CNET spoke to Aaron Dew, product manager at Vizio, who told us that the remote thats shipping with the Vizio boxes is fine for casual gaming, but he wasnt sure that it would support every game.
